The set I have is the socialite brush set, but it just didn't come in the Socialite brush set case. I really don't care about that. The case I received was just as good, and cute. and it's still Smashbox. It's a quilted looking, pink material with a pink ribbon that ties the bag close. The socialite bag is a black kinda cross stitch, basket weave looking material with black leather straps that tie the bag shut.
Either way, its really no big deal. The main thing is the brushes. And I love them! I use them all the time and they are with me just as often as my cell phone is, lol.
The exact set I received is the one in the picture. It came with an eyeshadow brush, eyeliner and a smudger.
I really need to pick up a crease brush as well, lol.

I have little bumps on my face which always disappear once I use the African Black Soap...my skin is very smooth with it. Obviously drinking water and eating much fruit is helpful too! This is guaranteed to help you get smooth skin! GUARANTEED!

You really cannot judge a fragrance solely by the name/bottle/celebrity/color/price attached to it. I feel you have to experience it to really know for sure if it's for you (much like another love of mine, wine).

Case in point - as soon as I heard Black Star was Teen-Friendly rocker Avril Lavigne's scent, it did cross my mind for a second that it would be sweet, sweet, sweet - and probably not that complex.
Well, I was very wrong (see - don't assume!).
This is a scent that young teens/younger women (who are her primary fan base) will probably love, but many other women will also love it because it's really good.
Avril describes the scent as "edgy and feminine in a fun way", and I have to say that really does capture the essence I got from it.
The opening notes of pear were very bright, fresh and clear - which I really enjoyed. There was also a plum note that also came into play early in the scent on my skin, which remained throughout. As time went on I got a bit more of the floral from the hibiscus flower, but mostly it was a light plum/pear mix and I loved it! The dry down is where the "edgy" vibe comes from, in that it's a dark chocolate - which was the perfect mix of sweet and dry on my skin, with just a touch of coconut/vanilla swirled in as well. The lasting power was also very good. While this is perfectly suitable for day time, I also liked it for an evening scent as well.
As for the packaging, I found myself loving it more and more the longer I spent time with it. The pink/black color scheme and "studded" effect with the silver geometric cubes is really fun and different. The shape of the bottle is reminiscent of a few other scents I can think of (and probably you can too), but the shape has a nice twist to the idea in that it's a unique asymmetrical star (which also has a different effect if you look at the bottle from a bird's eye view), and underneath the black cap is a studded silver metal piece which can be slipped on and worn as a ring or as a pendant. Cool!

I found these PERFECT sized mini pump bottles. 4 ml each, I haven't put my products in them YET. I had an accident and broke my glasses.......I'm as blind as a bat without them. I can barely see the screen now, but I'm dedicated, haha. I'll just say that for now, but after I use them a little I'll let you know if they actually work. I don't see why they wouldn't but ya never know. Ummm just A little more info in case your interested.
They are a little more than 2.5 inches tall....in cm they are Exactly 6.5.
3.5 cm of that is what holds the liquids.
The picture shows a penny next to it, but even that is bigger around than this handy little thing. Its actually just a tad smaller than a dime.
I am just ecstatic about these, they are going to save soo much room in my makeup bag!!!

However, this is Creme de la Mer - and you know how we feel about Creme de la Mer.
Suffice it to say the diamonds, sea mud, tourmaline and all the other fabulous elements that went into making this body refiner are as effective and luxurious and all of our other favorite La Mer products (Check out our Best of La Mer This Next List!)
The scrub is very soft and pliable and very lightweight. As soon as I applied it to slightly dampened skin, I noticed the sparkle (diamonds!) and liked that it had a significant amount of tightly packed fine grains that gave me a fantastic scrub.
After rinsing off the scrub, my skin was not only smoother and baby soft, but I actually felt and saw the moisture that had been put back into my skin - it was glowing and I didn't have to use much post-shower body moisturizer at all. I used this 2x week for several weeks and was just so excited by the results.This is a phenomenal product, and absolutely what I would expect from the geniuses at Creme de la Mer! If you are looking for a little self indulgent body care purchase for yourself this spring, this is the one.

The silicon formula is conditioning to the eye lashes and the skin.

The active ingredient is an 8% glycolic acid in a creme based delivery system, and it is ingenious. The premise is that glycolic acid (a derivative of sugar cane) helps slough off dull/dry skin while the moisturizers (aloe and chamomile included for anti-inflammatory loveliness) hydrate the healthy skin underneath. Ah-Mazing.

I reminded myself of the old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
But the box with the sea foam green was calling my name. After a few days, I decided to dive in...
The Hydrating Infusion is a serum that is meant to hydrate skin and prepare it for the La Mer creams (original or gel-cream). I used about two pumps after cleansing and spread it between my hands before gently massaging into my face. It had a watery consistency with some weight to it, was smooth in texture, clear and spread easily. The fragrance was the classic la mer scent to me - slightly oceanic/citrusy, and did not linger very long on my skin. The serum sank into my skin very quickly, and I immediately felt a nice hydrating, "plumping" sensation on my skin. It didn't make my more oily spots greasier, and it hydrated the drier areas, like my cheeks nicely.
The way I decided to test this product was to continue to use my La Mer original cream as usual, and see if there was improvement by layering it on top of the infusion.
I have to say that La Mer has done it once again. After a week using both products together daily, my skin looked even more radiant than before, and my makeup even seemed to last longer. As I continued the regimen over several more weeks, I was even happier at how even my skin tone was, and how great my skin looked in the morning in particular. I didn't have any breakouts or irritations, and I found that because the infusion in so concentrated, two pumps in the am and pm was the perfect amount to get good coverage on my face, so the bottle definitely lasts several months.
The packaging is great with the pump and shape of the bottle, so this is perfect for travel and the gym.
Note: On very busy mornings I sometimes only had time to use the infusion, and my skin continued to look fantastic, glowing, and radiant with perfect hydration.
This is another La Mer gem that made a significant difference in my skin and I now I won't be without it!"

I was so happy to try one of these in-demand Robertson Boulevard limited edition colors from CHANEL. Out of the four shades in the collection, this is one of the less “edgy” shades, but really pretty and flattering nonetheless.

L.A. sunset really is reminiscent of the shades in sunset! It’s a warm, medium coral color with a touch of salmon pink (note: it appears more red in the picture). It’s bright but not neon. It’s such a happy summer color. I loved wearing this when I got a pedicure. It looked even better when I got a tan. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and looked great with either one coat for more of a salmon stain, or with two for the brighter effect. It’s shiny with no shimmer and as I’ve found many of the CHANEL formulas, has great lasting power with no chipping.
I think this is one of the most versatile colors in the collection and should be added to their permanent collection. This is perfect those women are out of their teens and 20’s that still want to be fashion forward yet still have a flattering color that will work with their clothing, lifestyle, work etc. This shade will work best up to a Queen Latifah shade.
Available online on the CHANEL site in July
